Might have found a cheap source for whiter headlights

So i was stopping by harbor freight today on my way home from work picked up a few little things I needed for the garage(they always have random stuff I feel I need haha) anyways So I was walking down the auto isle and saw some super white headlight bulbs 9007 from road shock (some knock off harbor freight name) for 7.99 It did not say how what number they were 4100 or whatever but I thought for 7.99 i would try them. I bought one just to see. Threw it in when I got home and damn if its not a lot whiter then the factory yellow junk. Took it for a drive and I thought they were brighter also as I only put one on the drivers side. I tired to snap a picture but its dark and I couldnt get a good clean picture. Anyways thought I would give you all the heads up on a cheaper alternative to 30 -40 bucks for others.
Link below is the Bulb I got

Find a store close to you Its better then shipping as most of the stuff they have in the store. Watch what you buy also i wouldnt buy anything cordless from them but most air tools there big air compressors and stuff like that is good to go for the money

I have never seen hid lights in person On a cobalt that i can recall. Tonight I will try out my good camera to give youa beter idea of what the change is I still have one side stock syou can see the dif better. I am interisted to see how long they last as all the other big money bulbs say they only have a life of about a year once you start getting whiter light.
try and post em tonight if they turn out better.
